Thanks for the wonderful workshop on growing plants in containers in our apartments. We enjoyed it very much! Several of us have been updating each other with the progress of our plants! It's a wonderful activity sharing our photos and experiences at the club meetings. I've been able to harvest the beans and shared them with family and friends at our Easter gathering. The tomato seedling took so long to grow and finally look like real tomato plants. I planted three seeds just to make sure that I got at least one plant but they all sprouted. The two I transplanted are doing very well and I have one more seedling to transplant but I needed to get more potting mix. I plan to share my extra tomato plants with my senior citizen sisters who are very impressed with my bean plants so they can have tomatoes to eat too! I sauteed my beans with some fresh mushrooms and they were at hit at Easter lunch. I was so proud to show off my bean plants to my family and friends! The beans were a very good choice for this project. They were easy to grow and produces an ongoing crop of very easy to use veggies! A very successful activity. Thank you again for this fun activity. I am very impressed with your newspaper starter pots. I've shared this with my family for them to try. - March 2025, 96826
We’ve always had plants around the yard but finally taking advantage of growing edible vegetables. We appreciate the education and plants you guys provide. - May 2024, 96792
First, let me say that I appreciated the UH Food to Grow presentation and training. The presentation and kits provided made for an informative, fun and worthwhile adventure! I’ve had beans to eat and at least one tomato (MUCH better than store bought!) - December 2023, 96817
I am so excited about this. I did not know that people could use EBT to buy live plants for food. That's wonderful, and it made coming to this community market 100% worth it. - December 2023, 96744
Last night I learned how to make fried rice. I used the green beans that I grew. - September 2023, Hawaiʻi Island
Thank you for providing such a thorough kit. It's great for people who have very little experience or no experience at all with growing plants. Often times I hear people say, "I'd like to but I don't have a green thumb." You don't have to have a green thumb. You just need to read the information in the kit and follow it. - July 2023, Hawaiʻi Island
Thank you for helping our family start a vegetable garden, it is a great way to encourage the kids to spend time outdoors instead of watching TV or playing computer games. (The kids) love to fertilize the plants and watch them grow. We look forward to planting some eggplants as our entire family enjoys Eggplant with Garlic Sauce! - January 2023, 96817
We are a plant-based family so we EXTRA appreciate being able to harvest right from our own backyard. (My son) LOVES to plant and gather and I am so pleased that he is able to know where his food comes from while appreciating the work it takes to grow these things. 🙂 So far we've planted the green beans, and the bok choy is next on the list! - January 2023, 96744

My ohana and I were just talking about planting tomatoes in our garden bed so that's super awesome of you guys to send those starter kits. - April 2022, 96792
Mahalo for this activity. The keiki had lots of fun and can’t wait to grow more. - April 2022, 96792
This is a great program! It is an easy way to help people get started. - April 2022, 96706
Wanted to thank you folks for doing the bean giveaway for our (Molokai) community. It was an awesome experience and lots of people had lots of good things to say about it. Mahalo nui. - March 2022, Molokai
